I have been enjoying making rice pudding ever since I discovered it not too long ago. While the local strawberries were in season I knew that I would have to try a strawberry rice pudding. I was thinking about several different ways of making a strawberry rice pudding and decided to go with a simple plain white rice pudding with large pieces of fresh strawberries. Balsamic vinegar goes really well with strawberries and I thought that serving the strawberry rice pudding with a balsamic syrup on top would be nice. I also sprinkled some chopped pistachios on top to add some colour and a contrasting texture. Rice pudding is pretty easy to make and if your rice maker has a porridge setting it is even easier. The strawberry rice pudding with balsamic syrup was really good. The slightly tart balsamic syrup was a perfect compliment to the sweet strawberry pudding. I prefer to chill rice pudding in the fridge before eating it but sometimes I just can't wait; luckily it is good warm.

Directions:1. Bring the milk, rice, sugar and vanilla extract to a boil in a sauce pan.2. Reduce the heat and simmer until the milk is mostly absorbed, about 25-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.3. Simmer the balsamic vinegar and honey in a small sauce pan to reduce to a syrup.4. Mix the strawberries into the rice and drizzle the balsamic syrup on top followed by the chopped pistachios.

I know that guys can cook (emeril lagaasse, jamie oliver..) but whenever i look at your blog i cant help being amazed at not only the wonderful pictures but all the fancy stuff you make! All my brother does is make instant noodles and eats it with bread when he gets hungry at university! lol :P

Sounds simple & looks so delicious. I had rice pudding for the first time not too long ago and was surprised at how much I liked it. I'm eager to try this recipe as I have some strawberries nearing their end of life!
